History WebAnimation / BarryTales

** In the later part of the show, Specs becomes this. [[spoiler: He loses both Bearnisha and Autumn, gets beaten up by Pandora, gets his soul literally punched out of his chest, and contracts Bear-AIDS and spends a week over-emotional as a result of taking the cure for it. And for his stalking of Autumn after the breakup he is nearly expelled and has to graduate a year later than expected. And for deliberately ticking off Grizzly, he gets punched in the face, but that starts a fight that ends with [[KarmaHoudini Grizzly going to jail for 30 days]].]]

* MissingMom: As we find out in Episode 14, Barry's mother is in prison, however, we don't find out what led to her being put there, just that her appeal is still pending.

** It was implied by a couple of episodes that Autumn's parents have died but we don't know how...[[spoiler:until episode 26]].

* ParentalAbandonment: Apparently, as implied by a couple of episodes, Autumn's parents have died. According to episode 26, they died en-route [[spoiler: to her singing recital]].

** Bearnisha fits this as well. [[spoiler: Although, save for a final one-night stand with Specs, she appears to be more-or-less faithful to Claude.]]
** Specs and Grizzly as well, though Grizzly doesn't get as much as he likes to say he does.

** There is a character on the show, [[spoiler:Bearquan]], who literally laughs himself to death in episodes 10 and 15, complete with a SmashCut to his funeral in both occurrences. In fact, in episode 18, the basketball coach tells Barry that he actually does this at some point every time they practice.

* ShoutOut: There are quite a few:

*** Uncle Bill, an {{Expy}} of Uncle Phil from ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', appears as [[spoiler:Bearagamo]]'s uncle. He winds up throwing [[spoiler: Bearagamo]] out of the house during summer vacation, as a reference to many an instance in the show where Jazz gets thrown out. In fact, the entire scene with Uncle Bill plays out like an opening scene from said show, complete with credits and a LaughTrack.
*** Earlier, [[spoiler:Bearagamo]] was thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house in a similar manner.

** [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed The same]] applies to bear versions of RealLife celebrities:

*** Music/ChrisBrown, who hosted a concert with Drake.

*** Earlier, [[spoiler:Bearagamo]] was thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house in a similar manner.

* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Baloo]]. According to what Barry said in Episode 10, he ripped someone's tongue through their anus for ratting him out to the feds.

* GoodCopBadCop: More like "Bad Cop/Worse Cop," [[spoiler: Specs is interrogated by two police officers concerning what had happened to Autumn during a frat party. They even prevent him from pressing charges, when it turns out Specs did nothing wrong, by making it clear they'll instead kill him and make the death look justified.]]

* HasTwoMommies: [[spoiler: Specs has two dads, according to episode 11. He cares about them (or at least the one that looks like him), but he has been a bit distant from them. [[FreudianExcuse This is the implied reason]] [[{{Jerk}} Specs acts]] [[TheCasanova the way he does]]...[[SubvertedTrope not that it]] ''[[SubvertedTrope excuses]]'' [[SubvertedTrope his behavior]].]]

*** [[spoiler: Pandora received unwanted sexual advances from Mr. Ruxpin, her history teacher, during the freshman year. In retaliation for Pandora rejecting his advances, [[DisproportionateRetribution he lowered her final exam score a whooping]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution 24 points]]'', which would have put her Honor Society status in jeopardy. When Pandora confronted him about it, he ultimately [[SexualExtortion gave her one last chance to sleep with him, so that he will record her actual grade]]. Mr. Ruxpin records her real grade when Pandora then revealed that [[CaughtonTape she had been recording their current conversation on her phone]]. She eventually tells Barry, by this point her boyfriend, during the sophomore year. Speaking of which...]]

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "b*tch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2,5, and 6; Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1, and also [[spoiler:[[TheStoolPigeon told the cops that they should probably talk to Specs]] when Autumn is found unconscious at a frat party]]), whenever a school rival shows up to cause trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8; Brother Bear, who attends Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: but winds up transferring to Bearhouse later]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]]), and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16; [[spoiler: Claude though Specs had been trying to sleep with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually the other way around]]. [[TooDumbToLive Specs did eventually have a final-night stand with Bearnisha in episode 19]], [[OneHitKO and it costed him dearly.]]]]).

* ReallyGetsAround: Autumn, [[spoiler: who comes from a family of whores (said line starting with her great-great-great-great-grandmother). [[CharacterDevelopment Although she remains faithful later on in the series]]...[[OfftheWagon but she has started to relapse into wanting sex from more than one guy by Episode 22.]]]]

*** [[Disney/TheJungleBook Bal]][[WesternAnimation/TaleSpin oo]], as a drug dealer.

*** Earlier, [[spoiler:Bearagamo]] is thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house in a similar manner.
*** In this universe, the slang word for homosexual is [[Franchise/CareBears Care Bear]], and most are [[ChestInsignia just as easy]] [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife to spot]] as you would think. In fact, Sunshine, the Resident Assistant, is essentially a modernized college student version of Funshine Bear.

** A character is thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house in a [[Series/TheFreshPrinceofBelAir very familiar manner.]]

** In the later part of the show, Specs becomes this. [[spoiler: He loses both Bearnisha and Autumn, gets beaten up by Pandora, gets his soul literally punched out of his chest, and contracts Bear-AIDS and spends a week over-emotional as a result of taking the cure for it. And for his stalking of Autumn after the breakup he is nearly expelled and has to graduate a year later than expected. And he gets punched in the face by Grizzly, but that starts a fight that ends with [[KarmaHoudini Grizzly going to jail for 30 days]].]]

*** The Coca-Cola Bear, here nicknamed CC, as a [[BiTheWay bi]][[{{Pun}} polar]] version of himself.

** Autumn in [[spoiler:episode 23]], slips up and calls [[spoiler: Barry "baby"]]. For context, [[spoiler:Autumn was dating Grizzly, but started to relapse into [[ReallyGetsAround her old self]] after developing a secret inner desire to sleep with Barry, [[BestFriend Pandora]]'s boyfriend. When Barry is hospitalized, all three of his aforementioned friends check on him, and Autumn can barely keep it together during the conversation.]]

*** The hip-hop trio Migos also appears.

** This was later averted in Episode 10 where the main cast attends a concert. Episodes since then, shows them in different outfits, afterwards.

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "b*tch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that have previously rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2,5, and 6; Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1, and also [[spoiler:[[TheStoolPigeon told the cops that they should probably talk to Specs]] when Autumn is found unconscious at a frat party]]), whenever a school rival shows up to cause trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8; Brother Bear, who attends Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: but winds up transferring to Bearhouse later]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]]), and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16; [[spoiler: Claude though Specs had been trying to sleep with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually the other way around]]. [[TooDumbToLive Specs does eventually have a final-night stand with Bearnisha in episode 19]], [[OneHitKO and it costs him dearly.]]]]).

* WhatBeautifulEyes: [[spoiler:Specs]]. It was the main reason [[spoiler:he wore shades]], as he didn't want anyone to think he was gay because of them. [[spoiler:He first showed them to Autumn in the Season 1 finale, when she was upset about him cheating on her. This resulted in her taking him back...[[YourCheatingHeart until he cheated on her once again with Bearnisha]]. And ''that'' happened in part because Specs decided to ditch the shades entirely afterwards, which resulted in Bearnisha seeing his eyes and unable to stop getting wet until he slept with her again.]]

* YouDidTheRightThing: In Episode 18, Barry told Grizzly that "Whatever happened with you, you didn't go through with it, meaning you're a good dude." Barry didn't know, and wasn't comprehending, what Grizzly was talking about because he was having a hangover at the time.

* ArtEvolution: The animation becomes smoother in later episodes.

* TheStoner: Paul Snow and, as we find out, his mother is one, too.
** Even more so with Loud, so much so that he can actually ''fly''. Likewise, so is a few more of his and Grizzly's relatives.

** Autumn in [[spoiler:episode 23]], slips up and calls [[spoiler: Barry "baby"]]. For context, [[spoiler:Autumn, who was dating Grizzly, started to relapse into [[ReallyGetsAround her old self]] after developing a secret inner desire to sleep with Barry, [[BestFriend Pandora]]'s boyfriend. When Barry is hospitalized, all three of his aforementioned friends check on him, and Autumn can barely keep it together during the conversation.]]
* DirtyOldMan: When Pandora brings up that ''everyone'' flirts with Autumn, the show cuts to a scene where an old man makes clear his intentions to sleep with Autumn...only to die after one sentence.

*** [[spoiler: Barry started receiving unwanted sexual advances from Ms. Fields, one of his professors, during the sophomore year after she found out [[GoldDigger he was on the basketball team]]. She decided to set up a "meeting" to [[DoubleEntendre "get the D up"]] when Dean Bearhug approached the two out of suspicion that ''[[WrongAssumption Barry]]'' [[DoubleStandard was attempting to sleep with Ms. Fields]]. When the dean left, Ms. Fields [[SexualExtortion threatened to actually give Barry a D if he did not show up]]. Barry avoided her, which resulted in her waiting for him in the showers after the basketball team's next game. She slipped on a bar of soap before anything happened, knocking herself out. So far, there's no word on whether or not the situation was handled, and [[WhatHappenedtotheMouse Ms. Fields has not shown up since]]. Also, Barry never told Pandora about Ms. Fields, even though Pandora told him about Mr. Ruxpin, so it also could be a matter of time before this comes back to bite Barry.]]

** Barry being referred to as BP, his initials, much to his annoyance. Every time this happens, there is an explanation that a lot of people would mistake the initials BP for something homosexual-related, complete with at least one example.
* SchoolSavedMyLife: Grizzly is attending Bearhouse College in order to better himself and get out of the "trap".

*** In this universe, the slang word for homosexual is [[Franchise/CareBears Care Bear]], and most are [[ChestInsignia just as easy]] [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife to spot]] as you would think. In fact, Sunshine, the Resident Assistant, is essentially a modernized college student version of Funshine Bear.

And for his stalking of Autumn after the breakup he is nearly expelled and has to graduate a year later than expected. And he gets punched in the face by Grizzly, which starts a fight that ends with [[KarmaHoudini Grizzly going to jail for 30 days]].]]

* DidISayThatOutLoud: Apparently, everyone can hear Barry's internal monologues.

** This happened to Autumn in [[spoiler: episode 23. Autumn, who was dating Grizzly, started to relapse into [[ReallyGetsAround her old self]] after developing a secret inner desire to sleep with Barry, [[BestFriend Pandora]]'s boyfriend. When Barry is hospitalized, all three of his aforementioned friends check on him, and Autumn can barely keep it together during the conversation. She then suddenly refers to Barry as "baby", before attempting to play it off. Pandora, Grizzly, and ''Barry'' look at her suspiciously for a few [[{{Beat}} beats]], before Grizzly breaks the silence to ask Autumn if something's wrong.]]

*** [[spoiler: Barry started receiving unwanted sexual advances from Ms. Fields, one of his professors, during the sophomore year after she found out [[GoldDigger he was on the basketball team]].

Also, Barry never told Pandora about Ms. Fields, even though Pandora told him about Mr. Ruxpin, so it also could be a matter of time before this comes back to bite Barry.]]

* ProductPlacement: InUniverse. Earl, the janitor [[spoiler: turned basketball coach]], hopelessly tries on numerous occasions to plug a mixtape he made. No one wants it, and it turns out that it is not even any good. [[spoiler:Earl eventually forces Barry to take a copy of his mixtape, but only after Earl [[BlatantLies casually brings up]] that Barry could instead be [[DisproportionateRetribution staying on the bench during basketball games]].]]

* ActionGirl: One of the main characters, Pandora, usually displays a great amount of physical strength and is well-versed in martial arts. [[spoiler: In Episode 4 she easily knocks out [[WesternAnimation/YogiBear Yogi Bear]], who is twice her size.]]

-->'''Sunshine''' ''(to Grizzly)'': "It's motherfucking SUNSHINE bear, you got that?!"

** Bearagamo counts as well. He is constantly rejected by Autumn and Pandora, gets literally thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house after breaking in and asking if they were hiring [[note]] Frat brother hopefuls do not get the chance to be hired, they get the chance to ''pledge'' [[/note]], [[spoiler:gets robbed by Paddington Bear [[LaserGuidedKarma sometime after robbing him before]]]], [[spoiler:gets kicked out of his uncle's house during the freshman summer (in the same way as he was with the frat house earlier) after wrecking the house by throwing a party ([[BlatantLies which he promised not to do]])]], winds up owing money to Baloo, [[spoiler:finds out that Baloo ordered a hit on him as a result]], and is abandoned by Loud, who promised to [[spoiler:protect him from a would-be assassin]] while he continued to pay off his debt, the moment Loud realizes that he gets nothing out of helping him.

** This happened to Autumn in [[spoiler: episode 23. By this point, Autumn is dating Grizzly, but has started to relapse into [[ReallyGetsAround her old self]] after developing a secret inner desire to sleep with Barry, [[BestFriend Pandora]]'s boyfriend. When Barry is hospitalized, all three of his aforementioned friends check on him, and Autumn can barely keep it together during the conversation.

They even prevent him from pressing charges, when it turns out Specs did nothing wrong, by making it clear they'll kill him and make it look justified.]]

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Grizzly seems to think so. He spent literally an ''entire day'' laughing at Barry's IKEAErotica description of a previous "experience".

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "b*tch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that have previously rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2,5, and 6; Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1), whenever a school rival shows up to cause trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8; Brother Bear, who attends Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: but winds up transferring to Bearhouse later]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]]), and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16; [[spoiler: Claude though Specs had been sleeping with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually]] ''[[WrongAssumption Bearnisha]]'' [[WrongAssumption who was attempting to have one more night with Specs.]] [[TooDumbToLive Specs does eventually have a final-night stand with Bearnisha in episode 19,]] [[OneHitKO and it costs him dearly.]]]]).

*** The Coca-Cola Bear, here nicknamed CC, as a [[BiTheWay bi]]-[[{{Pun}} polar]] version of himself.

*** Music/KanyeWest, who [[spoiler:works with Pops]].

** Grizzly has to steal a folder from an office secured by a digital lock puzzle. Just how does he manage to solve it? [[WatchDogs Take a wild guess...]]

** Whenever [[TheStoner Loud]] gets so high that he starts ''flying'', specifically whenever he flies away from the scene, he is accompanied with the first part of the ''[[Series/ReadingRainbow Reading Rainbow]]'' theme.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Early into Episode 1, the show stops for a moment to introduce a pair of female twins that were on the bus to Bearhouse College as the Maple Twins as soon as they walk off the bus. [[RedHerring This is all that we know about them]], and they have only shown in a few cameos since then.
** Also, Ms. Fields. Considering that she [[spoiler: has been attempting to force Barry to sleep with her by threatening to give him a D in class, before slipping on a bar of soap that knocked her unconscious]], it's quite odd that she has not made an appearance since.
* YouDidTheRightThing: In Episode 18 Barry to Grizzly, saying that "Whatever happened with you, you didn't go through with it, meaning you're a good dude."

* ButtMonkey: In the later part of the show, Specs becomes this. [[spoiler: He loses both Bearnisha and Autumn, gets beaten up by Pandora, gets his soul literally punched out of his chest, and contracts Bear-AIDS and spends a week over-emotional as a result of taking the cure for it.

** This happened to Autumn in [[spoiler: episode 23. By this point, Autumn is dating Grizzly, but has started to relapse into [[ReallyGetsAround her old self]] after developing an inner desire to sleep with Barry, who's dating her BestFriend, Pandora. When Barry is hospitalized, all three of them check on him, and Autumn can barely keep it together. While she is able to [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial play off]] her comment that Barry looks good to a few suspicious looks, [[DiggingYourselfDeeper it gets worse]] when she suddenly refers to Barry as "baby".

[[CharacterDevelopment Although she remains faithful later on in the series]]...[[OfftheWagon but she has started to relapse into wanting sex from more than one guy by Episode 22.]]]]

*** Literature/PaddingtonBear, as a tourist who [[spoiler:gets robbed by Beargamo before returning the favor later]].

** The scene where Beargamo calls Baloo to let him know that he's paid off his debt is an almost perfect recreation of the ending to ''{{Film/Friday}}''.

* CatFight: DiscussedTrope. One of the frat bears, (Claude) knowing his compatriot (Specs) is seeing two girls (namely Autumn and Bearnisha) at once, asks him to invite both of the girls to a post-midterm party specifically for the possibility of ripped clothing and exposed skin if the girls duke it out.

** There are multiple "cameo" appearances from famous bear-celebrities, somtimes with re-imagined personalities, including being more foul-mouthed.

*** [[Literature/TheBerenstainBears Brother and Sister Bear]], as a college basketball star and [[spoiler: porn star]], respectively.

*** [[WesternAnimation/YogiBear Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear]], more-or-less as themselves. [[spoiler:This does not help Yogi]].
*** [[Series/TheMuppetShow Fozzie Bear]], as a relatively more successful comedian.
*** [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Po]], who is still the Dragon Warrior. [[spoiler: He's also Pandora's father, and he trained her well]].

*** When Pandora knocks out [[spoiler: Yogi Bear]] in episode 4, she asks [[spoiler: Boo-Boo]] if he wanted some too. He responds by pointing both hands to Pandora and says "Nnnno" in a matter-of-fact way. This exchange plays out very similarly to the exchange between Deebo and Red's father just after Deebo knocked out Red.

* ReallyGetsAround: Autumn, [[spoiler: who comes from a family of whores (said line starting with her great-great-grandmother). [[SubvertedTrope Although she remains faithful later on in the series]]...[[DoubleSubverted but she has started to relapse into wanting sex from more than one guy by Episode 22.]]]]

* ButtMonkey: In the later part of the show, Specs becomes this. [[spoiler: He loses both Bearnisha and Autumn, gets beaten up by Pandora, gets his soul literally punched out of his chest, and contracts Bear-AIDS and spends a week over-emotional as a result of taking the cure for it. And for his stalking of Autumn after the breakup he is nearly expelled and has to graduate a year later than expected. And he gets punched in the face by Grizzly, which starts a fight that ends with ''Grizzly'' going to jail for 30 days.]]

* TheDreaded: Baloo. According to what Barry said in Episode 10, he ripped someone's tongue through their anus for ratting him out to the feds.

* OneHitKO: Claude has quite the powerful punches, and is pretty fond of dishing these out to those that tick him off. So far, he's knocked out [[spoiler: Barry]] in episode 6, ''literally'' knocked a disrespectful party-goer into the middle of next week in episode 7 ([[spoiler: and ''that'' was a flashback to just before Claude saw and knocked out Barry]]), knocked the clothes off a particularly uncooperative rushee in episode 18, and knocked [[spoiler: the ''soul'' out of ''[[BloodBrothers Specs]]'']] in episode 20.

** [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin Teddy Ruxpin]] is a history teacher.
** In this universe, the slang word for homosexual is [[Franchise/CareBears Care Bear]], and most are [[ChestInsignia just as easy]] [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife to spot]] as you would think.

*** [[spoiler: Barry winds up receiving unwanted sexual advances from Ms. Fields, one of his professors, during the sophomore year after she found out [[GoldDigger he was on the basketball team]]. She decided to set up a "meeting" to [[DoubleEntendre "get the D up"]] when the dean approached the two out of suspicion that ''[[WrongAssumption Barry]]'' [[DoubleStandard was attempting to sleep with Ms. Fields]]. When the dean left, Ms. Fields [[SexualExtortion threatened to actually give Barry a D if he did not show up at the "meeting", while also threatening to make sure that he wouldn't have a girlfriend in the first place.]] Barry did not attend the "meeting", which resulted in Ms. Fields waiting for him in the showers after the basketball team's next game. She slipped on a bar of soap when she attempted to rape him, knocking herself out. So far, there's no word on whether or not the situation was handled, as [[WhatHappenedtotheMouse Ms. Fields has not shown up since]]. Also, Barry never told Pandora about Ms. Fields, even though Pandora told him about Mr. Ruxpin, so it also could be a matter of time before this comes back to bite Barry.]]

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "b*tch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has gone off around those that have previously rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry from episode 5 to episode 6, who had a not-so-friendly encounter with Claude and Specs sometime beforehand), when a school rival shows up to cause trouble in Bearhouse (i.e. Brother Bear in episode 8, who is from Saint Berenstain [[spoiler: but winds up transferring to Bearhouse later]]), and those that have likely went behind his back (i.e. [[spoiler: Specs in episode 16, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually]] ''[[WrongAssumption Bearnisha]]'' [[WrongAssumption who was attempting to have one more night with Specs.]] [[TooDumbToLive Specs does eventually have a final-night stand with Bearnisha in episode 19,]] [[OneHitKO and it costs him dearly.]]]]).

* OneHitKO: Claude has quite the powerful punches, and is pretty fond of dishing these out to those that tick him off. So far, he's [[spoiler: knocked out Barry in episode 6, knocked the clothes off a particularly uncooperative rushee in episode 18, and literally knocked the soul out of ''Specs'' in episode 20.]]

** In this universe, the slang word for homosexual is [[Franchise/CareBears Care Bear]], and most are [[ChestInsignia just as easy]] [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife to spot]] as you would think.
